What Da Heck Is It? You Tell Me!

It's supposed to be a photo of a shape shifting creature called a Filipino Aswang.

The person taking the pic said it was huge.

I've seen a lot of bats and it sure does not look like a bat to me. Look at the head shape.
BTW the photo was taken with a NIKON camera w/ night vision capability. In the close up it looks like a pterodactyl flying dinosaur.

A Nikon with night vision is that good? If it were nighttime, how would the photographer know that the flying whatever was there at all?
What's the square shade from on the roof of the building to the left?

The Aswang

An Aswang (or Asuwang) is a ghoul in Filipino folklore. The myth of the aswang is popular in the Western Visayan regions such as Capiz, Iloilo and Antique. The trademark or major feature of Aswangs which distinguish them from other Filipino mythological creatures is their propensity to replace stolen cadavers with the trunk of a banana tree carved in the cadaver's likeness. They are also said to like to eat small children. Their favorite body parts are the liver and heart. Other local names, especially in Capiz are tik-tik and wak-wak.
